We were very disappointed when we saw the coaster in person. It appears bigger on the website. My 3 year old grandson likes it a lot. His 5 year old cousin is a little less impressed but did seem to enjoy it. I think it's a fun toy but a little overpriced for what it is. We have bought a lot of step2 things for our grandchildren and this is the first time we thought something overpriced.

As a mother of five active boys, this couldn't be a more cooperative and exciting toy. Fast enough for my school age- durable enough for my older boys to help their younger brothers. We have a zip line,trampoline,swimming pool,and smaller step 2 coaster, this extreme coaster will make an excellent addition for years to come, paying for itself in the first day!!

I have a 17 month old who totally loves this he learned to push the car back up track and it keeps him busy. All the parents in neighborhood always stop and stare and some bring kids for a ride. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. I used a power tool to assemble it and it was a breeze. My son helped me and I believe it took just under 30 minutes.

My two and six year old love it. My ten year old is almost too big for it but had fun the couple of times he went down. The two year old loves to climb up to the top without the car and roll balls or matchbox cars down the grooves where the wheels of the car go. Seems to be durable. The only downfall is the bright colors and is difficult to move around.

Our 2 year old grand daughter recieved this for her birthday. We were not sure she was old enough, but after the first time down we knew it was a huge success. She smiled and laughed a lot and while running back up the hill she kept repeating "again" over and over. We did purchase a helmet and I would recommend doing so especially if you are setting this up on blacktop or concrete areas that have slight drop offs just in case. The children who attended her birthday party rode this coaster the entire time they were at our house. It is a fabulous backyard toy for kids who love action.

Having 5 boys, ages 1 to 10, makes this coaster the PERFECT addition to our backyard. We have a trampoline, zip line and this EXTREME COASTER makes the yard complete. Simple enough for our two year old to use himself, yet engaging enough that our oldest can enjoy playing with the Coaster too!!

I recieved this item about 2 weeks ago. However, it did not come with any directions or hardware to put it together. Therefore, it is still sitting in my garage as I cannot put it together yet. I will be contacting Step2 and hopefully the service department is satisfactory. Disappointed that the company clearly has poor quality control as it didn't check for this before shipping!

We put this coaster in our basement and the kids fight over it all the time b/c they enjoy it so much. It's great exercise for those rainy days when we can't get out. I have to constantly watch my kids when they play on this b/c I don't want anyone getting run over since they seem to swarm the coaster all at once. Big plus is that there are no batteries required. It's just a simple, thrill-seeking toy to enjoy.

We bought our first roller coaster 6 years ago for my daughter. This was the best purchase ever. We have kids come over all the time and play on it the whole time they are at the house. We now have a 2 year old and he is just beginning to be able to use it himself. He can push the car up the coaster and turn around to sit down. He needs help to push off so that is good for me to watch out for other kids for him. We have a 6 month old now too and I know that this item will last for the next 8 years minimum for her to use as well.Again.. Best purchase ever!

We bought this for our granddaughter's third birthday. I am very pleased on how this was delivered. I have not seen it but my daughter did send pictures of the coaster.The expression on my granddaughter's face is priceless. They live out of state and Step 2 has always been a great toy to buy. This will also be a gift next year for my second granddaughter who will turn three and lives out of state.
